SEPTEMBER MEETING

Our September 11th meeting was called to order by
President Frank Nash promptly at 7:30 p.m. Not to be
deterred twenty four members and guest made it through a
wet soggy evening to view the movie produced by the
Gallon Explorers Club. Our Hunt Master, Linda Bennett
copied and handed out maps (9) to all in attendance. The
maps were referred to during the video/documentary by
the narrator. The video concentrated on our Florida
Treasure Coast shipwrecks, their locations, (markers to
indicate locations were noted), bounty found so far and
estimates of what remains to be found. Explanations on
how the ships were torn apart were a major part of the
video.
Only three members were in attendance received
their Birthday Dollars out of eleven members entitled.
Prior to the video Betty Laur presented her latest
machine to the membership! She demonstrated the Deus
metal detector. Folds up, light weight and wireless!
Frank Nash indicated that he has one for sell and if any
member would like to try it out, just contact him. Betty
and Jerry are really pleased with their newest equipment.
Thanks Betty, it was good information!
Gary McNew provided the Mystery Prize Stumper. A
wire nut fooled everyone!
Daytona Beach hunt results were good, except for the
rats on the wall and it was dark (Jerry Laur). Next year’s
hunt is already in the planning stage!
This past month the Raffle Committee was gifted with
several donations from John Lobota and Paul Hamlin.
Thanks people for the interesting items, they will appear
in the next few month
Paul and Marge Hamlin won $15 from the 50/50
Raffle! Meeting was adjourned at 9:30 p.m.
